Extensively illustrated, the 'Primary Teacher's Pocketbook' looks first at the role of the class teacher. It covers the importance of classroom organisation and of creating an emotionally supportive environment, then talks about effective planning and behaviour management.
There's a section on being the 'great teacher' and discussion of the gender and achievement issue. The need to manage relationships and to look after yourself are emphasised and there is advice for achieving successful OFSTED inspections.
